Recently, Talk Heathen put out a video from a theist who wanted to talk about God and free will. While the call itself was pointless, the thought experiment that Kenneth Leonard came up with was terminally flawed and I see this kind of thing happening all the time.
So let’s talk about it. Continue reading Bad Arguments About Free Will
I know this is hardly a surprise but I just caught another instance and thought I’d bring it up. There are a lot of people out there who simply cannot keep their emotions in check. They clearly don’t even know that they’re doing it. Exactly why is that?
I know I shouldn’t be surprised but when this kind of thing comes up, the stupidity of the left never really surprises me.
Someone posted that some subreddit or another was posting something they didn’t like and, of course, that meant that it had to be stopped and wanted Reddit to delete the subreddit and ban everyone involved. No, nothing actually violated Reddit’s AUP, it just made leftists mad and therefore, mass cancellation was called for. Continue reading Free Speech is Just a Suggestion
A while back, I looked at a video by Andy Bannister where he recommended a book called Confronting Christianity by Rebecca McLaughlin. At the time I responded, the book hadn’t been released and I said that I might take a look at it once it was out.
Now it’s out and wow, if Andy is at all impressed by this, he’s got something severely wrong with him. Yes, we all know that’s true, but let’s take a look anyhow. Continue reading Confronting “Confronting Christianity”
So, today I posted part two of a video and over on BitChute, some crazy theist popped up and started making absurd accusations.
This is hardly the first time it’s happened, this guy is out of his mind, but I find it funny just how badly these people fail. So let’s go take a look at it, shall we? Continue reading The Religious Have no Clue!
I’ve seen Matt Dillahunty say this a couple of times but I’ve always disagreed. The idea is that someone who thinks they have had an experience with the divine, that somehow justifies a belief in a god. Except it doesn’t. Only an *ACTUAL* experience with a *DEMONSTRABLE* deity would justify a belief that such a god was actually there.
Let me know when someone manages to do that. Continue reading Personal Experience Doesn’t Justify God
Not long ago, Richard Dawkins posted the above tweet and the leftist world shit it’s collective pants. What the hell else is new? Yet this time, I think people are starting to recognize the standard progressive dog whistle isn’t actually working. Lots of very influential people on the atheist and skeptical side are starting to ask questions and recognizing that this isn’t actually making any sense. So here’s my take on it and why none of this is actually a surprise.
Hope you enjoy.
This came up in an atheist subreddit recently, where people were asking what’s stopping the world in general and humanity in particular from improving and my answer, as should be no surprise, is “stupid people”. It’s certainly more nuanced than that short answer, but I noticed that it was a pretty common answer to the thread.
Except a lot of those responding seem to be missing a very obvious problem: that it’s more than just the religious who suffer from this particular affliction. So let’s look at it. Continue reading What’s Stopping the World From Getting Better?
I hear this a lot from the non-religious, as though it’s a demonstrated fact and it’s not actually true. Recently, I was listening to a lot of Atheist Experience clips and the subject of slavery comes up a lot. That’s fine, of course, but it also shows a very clear bias and irrational bent from Matt Dillahunty that I think it’s important to look at the problems with these claims. So off we go. Continue reading Is Slavery Actually Immoral?
Go watch that video first and then come back because I’m going to get into some of the details. It’s okay, I’ll wait. Continue reading Matt Dillahunty Gets It Wrong
